Ka ʻOihana Mālama Pāka a me nā Hana Hoʻonanea

This round icon is a simple tri-color logo of the E Alu Pū Kākou initiative, which looks like a bird of paradise flower, but instead of purple and orange petals, they resemble people with their arms stretch up to the sky.

E Alu Pū Kākou!

Let’s go forward together.

E alu pū kākou in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi means letʻs move forward together. Keeping our parks and gardens safe, beautiful and enjoyable is a kākou effort that is only enhanced when the community takes part. The Department of Parks and Recreation has many ways for organizations and individuals to get involved in our parks and gardens, from one-time volunteering and adopting a park, to donations and community gardening…and more. Explore the options below to find the best fit for you. We appreciate your interest in making a difference!

Volunteers work to paint a purple, yellow and green mural design onto a basketball court at Aala Park.
